Story

Amelia’s a 7yo 25lb (is on a diet and losing) JRT/ACD mix. She’s dog and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken and great when left home alone. She loves to play, but her breed has a high prey drive so she is best with dogs over 20lbs and NO cats. She loves her fosters secure fenced in yard to run and play. She needs work on harness leashed walks since she will pull. She needs slow introductions to new people and environments so she can warm up. Once she does warm up and trusts her people she loves to be near then to cuddle, give kisses and get pets. She is a Cattle dog and a Jack Russell -2 very smart breeds. Cattle dogs are cautious by nature. It takes her a bit to trust you. She needs an authoritative leader and she is quick to learn. Amelia’s foster requires a home with no cats and if dogs over 20lbs, patient people who will allow time to get used to a new environment to feel safe and secure along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training with a trainer.

Story

🚨 URGENT: COOPER – ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD AND OUT OF TIME 🚨 Cooper is just a baby at only 8 months old, and his life is already being turned upside down. He was brought into the intake program because his owner could no longer afford to care for him. Now this young boy is at risk of being euthanized simply because he has nowhere to go. Cooper is everything you would want in a young dog. He is friendly with other dogs, great with kids, and welcoming with strangers. His happy personality and playful spirit make him the perfect companion for a family looking for a fun, loving dog to grow up with. At only 8 months old, Cooper should be learning about toys, adventures, and family life — not sitting in a shelter wondering what happened to the home he knew. He still has his whole life ahead of him. He just needs someone to give him that chance. 💔 Please don’t let Cooper’s story end before it truly begins. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

SWEET SHANIA PARSONS

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Young

Sussex, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

There’s something so special about Shania — something that can’t quite be captured in a photo. At just 9 months old and 12 pounds, this Parsons Terrier/Westie mix has already been through more than most dogs her age, yet she radiates quiet hope and sweetness. When you first meet her, she may hang back a little, unsure of what to expect. But once she realizes you’re kind, she softens — her tail gives a shy wag, and her eyes begin to sparkle. You can almost see her heart opening up as she learns to trust. That’s Shania’s magic — she doesn’t just love; she chooses you, one gentle moment at a time. Shania loves other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can have a friendly canine companion or calm human friends to help her continue to blossom. She’d do best with older children or adults, as younger ones have been unkind to her in the past. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and ready to begin her new life — one filled with kindness, stability, and love. Shania’s foster family says everyone who meets her is captivated by her tender personality and soulful spirit. This little treasure is ready to start fresh and discover what it feels like to be truly loved. If you can give her that gift, she’ll return it tenfold.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Shania. She’s in Tennessee and can travel north on one of our weekend transports. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.

Story

Meet Ellie (Bonded with Freddie) Ellie is an 11-year-old sweetheart weighing just 15–17 pounds, and she’s bonded with her best friend Freddie. These two share a special connection and are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. Ellie is house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to the right family. She’s partially leash trained and would benefit from a little patience and gentle guidance on walks. She does well with children and other dogs, but she would do best in a home without cats. At her age, Ellie is all about the simple joys — cozy beds, soft blankets, and being close to the people she loves. She still has so much love to give and is hoping to spend her golden years safe, comfortable, and cherished. If you’re ready to open your heart to Ellie and Freddie, they’re ready to fill your home with double the love.
